In answer to the replies on my orignial posting let me add the following: I don't remember what format the files I downloaded for 7.3, but I assumed they weren't iso's because that burn went flawlessly using the same hardware (Plextor PX W 2410A) and the same software (Easy CD Creator). This time, as before, the Easy CD Creator did not ask for any options, but instead copied the entire iso file over as a single file! Now I hear even more confusion about different versions of CD Creator depending on if it came with the CD burner or was purchased separately. All this ambiguity should be spelled out in a doc file. It's a good thing I had a trial version of Nero laying about, or I would still be scratching my head looking for answers.
